About this book

This German-language book studies spolia, the ancient pieces that were reused in medieval buildings and objects. Columns, capitals, cornices, statues, sarcophagi, reliefs and inscriptions were all taken up again, often for a new purpose.

The author follows the motives behind this reuse. According to the publisher's description, they ranged from simple material recycling to a Christian reinterpretation of pagan forms, and on to political claims of legitimacy. The book also looks at how archaeologists, historians and art historians have evaluated the practice, which is the most visible sign of antiquity living on in the Middle Ages.
